William, Earl, Doug & Faye:

Just wanted to let you know that we are sorry to hear about Merle. Wish that we could have been able to go to the funeral, but sure you understand. Will be thinking of all of you in the days ahead.

Please stay in contact. Maybe someday you all can come to the Barnes family reunion at Enterprise and we can all visit. Would love to see you all.

Love,
Hazel and Buddy Barnes

William, Earl, Doug & Faye:

We're sorry about Aunt Merle but we know she is much better off. We all had so many good memories of her (and your Dad) and will all miss them very much.

We're sorry that circumstances prohibit our attending. Joan is not really able to travel and classes at the college started for Don. But our thoughts will be with you and perhaps in the near future we can all visit.

We love you.

Joan & Don
